we need to fight to mariupol well, at least not , at least air superiority, at least, well, let's say the closing of the airspace so that our aviation could operate there and even if, according to our offensive forces, we were not attacked from the air and it would be very difficult to do with rocket gift then it would be very difficult. thank you for these comments . mykola sungurovskyi, director of military and civilian programs of the razumkov center, commented for us on the military situation in our country and the prospects of the defenders of azovstali, which we do not know about we are tired of reminding, i don't think that any of the ukrainians in general can forget about it now, nevertheless, we keep our finger on the pulse and support our boys both emotionally and mentally, we do everything we can, in a few moments we will have news and

our colleague iryna koval will present them iryna vitayu i ask you for your word. thank you, colleagues, really. in just a moment, i will tell you about the kremlin's plans for kherson, but where ukraine is already conducting a counteroffensive. and also about what conditions are being imposed on hungary by the european union 15 in ukraine in the studio iryna kovali and news in the kremlin said that kherson should enter russia just as legitimately as crimea , putin's press secretary dmytro piskov said, according to him, this issue should be determined by the residents of the region, and similar fateful decisions should have a clear legal basis. localities are asking to include

the kherson region in russia without any referendums ukraine is planning and is already carrying out a counteroffensive in the donbass in raisin, melitopol and kherson regions the russians are forced to defend themselves, this was announced by the deputy chief of the main operations department of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, oleksiy gromov, at the same time, according to him, the blockade of mariupol will lead to significant losses, the war will be long, ukraine has won the first phase of the war and is ready to defend itself until complete victory at the front , american 155-caliber howitzers are already being used however, we have several difficult weeks and possibly months ahead of us, as western weapons are not arriving so quickly, said the deputy minister of defense anna malyar, russia still has a lot of technical resources and

it is able to mobilize people into the army, which can be done already in the coming weeks, thanks to the available stocks of mostly soviet weapons, this is happening in them, and they can afford to wage a long, intensive war. russia is actually now driving itself in a situation where he will not be able to win in the war of resources, for the time being, more intensive fighting is taking place in the lyman direction in the kharkiv area, the enemy, after an unsuccessful attempt to encircle the city, went on the defensive, suffering failures in the izyum direction, the enemy went on the defensive and is currently conducting deterrent actions and is also shifting its forces to the luhansk direction, the name of hell is called steel, the russians continue to storm the plant, the territory was attacked from the air almost 4 dozens of times, in particular, four strategic bombers were

used, and enemy anti-aircraft artillery and tanks also do not stop working joins the attacks and the ukrainian infantry the defenders continue to hold the defense russian occupiers raided the peaceful population of donetsk region from aviation tanks and heavy artillery are killed and wounded, the press service of the national police reports, the enemy fired at five settlements in the donetsk region. during the past day, mariupol, avdiivka, siversk, bakhmut, and kostiantynivka were destroyed, 45 civilian objects were damaged, residential buildings were damaged , the administrative building enterprise, life support objects and occupants are destroying ukrainian cities, oleksandr struyuk, the head of the north donetsk city military civil administration, said that 30% of the city's buildings are already unfit for habitation

70 apartments have been damaged up to 30% near kramatorsk in donetsk region due to shelling by the russians, a warehouse with ammonium nitrate has been damaged, the slavic military-civilian administration reported that the local authorities say that there is currently no threat to people's lives, but it is better not to go outside during the day streets unnecessarily and close the windows tightly, the occupiers blocked the gas supply to luhansk region and donetsk region, the head of the gts, serhiy makogon, said, in particular, the russians blocked the taps of the shebelivka novopskov gas pipeline without authorization, all this can lead to to an extremely difficult humanitarian situation even earlier

due to hostile actions, ukraine was forced to stop transit through the sokhranivka station, it is noted that a third of gas was supplied to europe through this point ukraine's counteroffensive in the kharkiv region destroyed 30 invaders and captured two more at the same time, lucha convincingly pointed out that they were not from some republic in kwaz, but from the luhansk region of ukraine. in kharkiv, the night passed without shelling. but in the region the military administration restlessly reports six wounded in the loziv and izyum districts, and one person died in the kupyan district in the izyum direction, the occupiers are preparing new offensive attempts, but the armed forces of ukraine continue to

hold their positions. in the north of the city of kharkiv, active hostilities are also taking place in our country. the bayrak point has also been liberated and rubizhne, but it is extremely dangerous to immediately return to these settlements in the occupied areas of kherson region and mykolaiv region. activists identified for ukrainian positions are abducted and taken to russia. they are tortured. and for

refusing to cooperate, exits from populated areas that are under shelling are shot. blockaded without the support of the population, the occupiers press with threats and lies about the fact that power has already been established over the entire south of ukraine, it will take 5 to 10 years for the complete demining of ukraine, the head of the department of the organization of pyrotechnic works and humanitarian demining of the state emergency service, oleg bondar, is confident of this, so far they have neutralized only 10% of explosive devices and this despite the fact that since the beginning of the war, the volume of demining of our territories from plants has increased by almost ten, about 20,000 hectares have already been surveyed, more than 103,000 mines have been neutralized and of ammunition, of which almost 2,000 are air bombs of various calibers, including those prohibited by international conventions, the enemy uses

remote mine systems, cynical sets unguided mines, mines barriers on the territory of populated areas and leaves behind a large number of particularly dangerous specially installed explosive devices that carry a mortal threat deadly danger and threat to peaceful population hungary sets conditions for the european union is ready to support an oil embargo against russia. if it applies only to marine oil, according to him, the introduction of the embargo will cause huge damage to hungary. fuel oil prices may increase by 50-60%, which will also be reflected in the price of all other products. the oil embargo requires a program to modernize the hungarian energy supply structure, which will cost about several billion

euros. he added that the hungarian government will submit its proposals to the european union this week. chernihiv was actually under siege during the invasion of russian troops the aggressor occupied the villages around the city, the villagers arrived under conditions of occupation for more than a month, during which time they had no medical assistance. therefore, now the soldiers of the armed forces of ukraine, who defended chernihiv, tour the surrounding villages freed from the occupiers and bring doctors to them after the occupation. the elderly need the most urgent help people and children flew in. eight people almost shot a small child. they said they are falling on their knees, we are shooting now, we will throw a grenade . vyacheslav lived for over a month under occupation in his native village near chernigov. the russian troops that tried to storm

chernihiv and constantly shelled the city. many diseases come to the surface, many stresses, these sleepless nights that people spent in tombs, underground pits, in basements, this is all indicated. so now the military brings them to the villages doctors from the first days immediately almost after the liberation of our settlements from the fascists , the command of the chernihiv defense management center of the armed forces of ukraine came up with the initiative to provide just such medical care to the people of the settlements, we bring military

doctors, specialists, therapists, neurologists, children's doctors, pediatricians from the surrounding population they are also being tightened because now there is no fuel for people to get to the regional center to get an appointment with their doctors, there is no way out of this project the military has already visited several villages. they take with them not only medical specialists, but also a supply of medicines. doctors organize the reception of patients in temporary rooms adapted for this purpose. it is not uncommon for such a timely examination and consultation to save a person's life. i am worried here, it is like a stone that is constantly scaly and periodic. doctors say that the greatest suffering is due to during the russian military aggression, children and the elderly suffered, it is mainly hypertension, ischemic heart disease , also problems with the joints, there are also complaints

to the stress experienced and, accordingly, the worsening of all symptoms of chronic diseases , the military and doctors have to simultaneously provide primary psychological rehabilitation to people affected by terror and moral pressure during the occupation. it is very difficult for a child like you. those shots, he sleeps at night, sleeps and twitches a lot, and sometimes he's taller and cries, well, he's just scared, as they shot at us from the city, and everything is fine, for nothing psychological support. at this stage, this is the most important. many parents do not understand that children have neuroses and they are not. well, they cannot understand it themselves. we do not refuse anyone. parents should contact and not engage in treatment. some medical facilities were destroyed by the enemy during

shelling and bombing. urgent we give help to everyone because the district hospital as such does not exist, let's say. at this stage, it is a problem in the villages , even getting to the city is almost impossible , public transport does not have enough fuel medical assistance to the civilian population from the military is vital and this need may persist for at least a few months. for now, that was all the news, the updated edition wait at 4:00 p.m. and now the broadcast continues. my colleagues antin barkovsky and khrystyna yatskiv, and read more news on our website espresso tv a brief summary of the main points on the telegram channel espresso tv news and the most interesting information on the espresso tv youtube channel subscribe to the channel, set favorites and have a ukrainian view of the world watch

on the air of our espresso news channel and espresso euro programs for ukrainian refugees in europe, joint airing with the atp channel, radio svoboda programs, voice of america time-time programs, inclusion of journalists from public television, bbc news ukraine and franz 24 news programs, as well as the broadcast of the informational marathon, the only news, together we are strong glory to ukraine despite the war. we went to the fields. i want everyone at once. if we work, we will protect the country with our work . this is your front. we will win together on the air of the

espresso tv channel. now khrystyna yatskiv, we will analyze the most important events, the invaders are shelling the village of komushovakh in the zaporizhzhia region, local residents are being urged not to leave their shelters. well, the wreckage of the rocket fell into the black sea, and oleksiy sukhachev of the state bureau of investigation reports that trostyanka is the sumy region the investigator of the state bureau of investigation found important documents of the russian military that contain plans of the russian federation to seize the entire territory of ukraine, all this information will be studied and added

to the case materials. well, here it is important to understand how much this correlates with putin 's declaration that there are no plans for the occupation of ukraine in the russian federation no, this is the same video message of the russian president, from which we all woke up with horror on february 24, well, that is, what was declared there is in no way compared with in addition, the reality is important information for me, because it gives an understanding that no one will escape responsibility, six russian occupiers have already received terms from 8 to 15 years. this is reported by the peka service of ukraine, based on their materials, exactly six captured russian occupiers, and those sentenced to these terms also emphasize that these people were captured during the fighting in february, march.

we hope for more." quite a scary story about the commander of the tank division of the russian federation shishimarin so he was taken like this and tried for the murder of a civilian in the sumy region, for which the investigation established that this 21-year-old russian scum killed an unarmed resident of chupakhivka, sumy region, who was riding a bicycle on the side of the road, on february 28. therefore, before that, the column in which this sergeant was a murderer was broken up by our armed forces, he escaped with several colleagues captured the honor of a private car and for car theft and a stolen car with punctures, they drove into the village on the way, saw an uncle returning home and talking on the phone they took and shot him with a kalashnikov assault rifle. hmm, the deceased man was 62 years old and he died a few dozen meters from his house,

that's just not human, some kind of cruelty , then i would note that yesterday we learned that the operator of the gas transportation system of ukraine since may 11, it has stopped receiving gas at the physical connection point of the sokhranivka gas measuring station due to ukraine's loss of control over objects in the occupied territories and illegal actions of the russian occupiers. this was reported by e-e operator literally yesterday, mts of ukraine will ask andrii we are from the sheep of the president of the association of gas traders of ukraine, glory to ukraine mr. andriy, we welcome you to the studio of the espresso tv channel well, accordingly, we would like to ask you what it is that threatens both the donetsk luhansk region in particular and ukraine as a whole. glory to the heroes regarding e- e gas supply, and

the operator of the gas transportation system - these are our main gas pipelines and distribution networks - these are our regional gas, their employees all work. these are really heroes in our time to provide stable gas supply is, i will say, simply unreal work , and with regard to the gas supply of our ukrainian enterprises and consumers, we can be sure that it will continue and will be non-stop . from a technical point of view, this is not a problem for our specialists, the only question is that russia itself really supplies those volumes to europe and delivers them to the border with ukraine. how should it be as ordered? with regard to the transit contracts that are currently in effect, the

assistance is now about the transfer of transit volumes. as far as i understand from the storage to the court so that we can continue to fulfill our obligations under the contract. judges, but russia must submit them, in fact, they stopped the transit through the security guard, but because of the judge of additional volumes. well, as far as i know, they have not submitted yet technically, the operator of the gas transportation system of ukraine is fully ready to accept these additional volumes and ensure their transportation to europe, well, the chief operator of ukraine's gts, serhiy makogon, writes that, in fact , representatives of the aggressor deprived ukraine of the opportunity to transport gas to consumers in the luhansk and donetsk regions

. that our specialists will cope with alternative routes where it is really possible, because we understand that at the moment when active hostilities are taking place, specialists are exposed to danger. this is absolutely unacceptable and another point that we must not forget, since the occupiers interfere with the operation of gas equipment - this can actually cause man-made disasters. therefore, it is necessary to limit the impact of such interference on other parts of our gas transportation system as much as possible, which is what the operator does to understand us the war has been in an active phase for more than two months. and how can you, based on your observations, analyze how actively the russians are behaving precisely on those

dilya and on those territories of ours through which it passes actually, our gts, what can be said that they avoid active military influence right there, understanding that after all, our pipe for them remains fundamentally important for them now, so this really is why there were such actions in sokhranivka. it is difficult for me to say in the territory of our occupation on the territory of ukraine, which is now temporarily occupied, it is possible that this was done in order to consume gas for its own needs, and then force ukraine to accuse ukraine of unauthorized extraction of this gas or some other points that are not really are taking place, let’s remember that there were attempts by russia to

supply gas to the temporarily occupied territory of the donetsk luhansk regions earlier to issue an invoice for this gas to naftogaz, and at that time the answer was clearly given that options that we do not control and that we cannot account for ukraine will not pay them since then, the position has not changed. i think that naftogaz has already said about this that there is no transit, since gas is not supplied, it will be impossible to provide it without the resource itself, no, it is possible there accusations from the russian federation that this gas is used somewhere in some other directions will also be impossible to confirm, since ukraine is not responsible for consumption in the temporarily occupied territories of

ugh. for providing our population with gas, we understand that despite the fact that it is now may, autumn will soon be here. well, the key question is how we manage to pump gas into our underground now gas storages, and on the other hand, do you feel that we have a clear alternative strategy , yes? well, because the russians can actually take and destroy this or that section of the pipe, well, they will just take it and destroy it, and then what about the injection, well, it goes absolutely according to the plan, as it should be, especially since the export of natural gas is prohibited in our country, according to the country, all the volumes that are produced inside are pumped into underground storages, well, i mean everything that is higher than the current consumption with regard to what is being done to ensure the possibility of obtaining the resource in case of termination or

transit or actions that will be aimed at damaging our gas transport infrastructure , in my opinion it should really be work with our partners and i hope that in the near future we will receive er, good information about the fact that this work is being carried out, and what about europe can say that now in the same europe, the uploading is at least 1.5 times faster, and in larger volumes than usual, if you compare even with last year, that is, europe is preparing quite actively for the fact that the supply of natural gas from the russian federation may be limited, and this is also preparation for the introduction of

gas selection. of the gas transportation system well, to the gas embargo in the european union in relation to russia, what is actually necessary to live here, and it is not known whether the european union will be able to do this, and ukraine has decided to be here. well so to speak, the initiator of this actual process , yes. well, in fact, it is probably difficult to name her, although we will all be sure that our state will be maximally protected when it can provide its consumption with its own mining resource, this will be the main factor of our independence in relation to gas embaru, this is indeed an absolutely correct step and i think that over time europe will come to this. the only thing that needs to be adequately understood is the situation regarding how to replace the volumes of gas that come from russia, and this even on

the current moment is more than 300 million cubic meters of gas per day, at the same time from other resources, this will be absolutely impossible, therefore, we must be aware that europe, helping us with weapons and sheltering our people, must also ensure its own security, and therefore, the possibility of finding additional of alternative sources in europe, they are happening and they are happening quite quickly for a really bureaucratic europe, but it will not happen today, it will not happen tomorrow, we have to understand this perfectly. unfortunately for us, well, just remind us which the amount of finances flowed to that country from the pumping of russian gas to the european union of our gas transportation system and that we are obviously now gradually or partially losing the contract e-e drawn up in such a way that

despite the physical pumping of the resource of our gas transportation system, the russians in any in this case, they have to pay for the volumes of gas that they contracted for transportation last year, it was 60 billion this year, and then until the end of the contract, it is 40 billion cubic meters each per year, respectively, whether you pump or not pump , the payment must be therefore, from the point of view of finances, i think ukraine will not lose. and if russia begins to delay payments, then there will be a hundred percent simply, simply, a hundred percent reason for you to apply to the judicial authorities, the only thing is that again this is not a matter of one day and not one month and not even one year, but i would like you to share some advice for our average

citizens. coal, firewood and so on, do you still think it will be possible to somehow solve this at the state level , because autumn says it is here . in order to ensure various possibilities of obtaining heat and electricity in his house in relation to ukraine, if at the national level we need to seriously think about how we will heat our houses in large cities and even not very large ones because the super concentration of the heat engine of the central huge theses is very flattering just er very flattering goals for our northern
